Exclusive | Tom Coughlin reveals his pivotal role in bringing John Harbaugh, Giants together

So, did Tom Coughlin actually tell Chris Mara to “get your ass down there’’ as the Giants were wondering if it made sense or was appropriate to take a trip to the Baltimore area to meet with John Harbaugh?

“He asked me what I thought of the idea,’’ Coughlin told The Post on Wednesday. “I said, ‘I think it’s a great idea, what are you waiting for?’ ”

So, no “get your ass down there” demand to one of the Giants co-owners?

“Yeah, that was probably it,” Coughlin admitted.
